The only group of its kind in the region, "Avoidance & Procrastination" is open to nice people who are caring about others, but find it difficult to ensure their own needs are met, especially when it comes to doing things that would be fulfilling. You may find it difficult to confront others, especially if it is about themselves, and so avoid doing so. Or, you may know there are things you should do, but you ***procrastinate***. At an affordable every four weeks, group members consistently remark of its value. (This group is facilitated by Sam Schaperow, MSMFT, LMFT).

Being a veteran or first responder requires you to put many parts of yourself aside for the service of others. While you are brave for choosing this path, sometimes it's hard to return home, to reintegrate and reconnect with your family, friends, loved ones and even the world around you. My priority as a therapist is to help you to feel safe and supported. As a veteran myself, I understand the necessity of a trusted connection with a clinician, because within that connection is where healing happens. I can promise respect and understanding in a space where you are free to express yourself while feeling supported and protected.
